The Big O's Fenway Park WIP - Night version begins


The Big O

Recommended Posts

Well I decided to do a few things on this mod this weekend since the fiancee was at her bachelorette party. Ezorn has given me permission to use his files from his 2004 mod so I was able to change a few things like the Monster scoreboard, the Coke bottles and add the two ads above. I also brought in the John Hancock and Citgo signs. Obviously there is much more work to do and I won't have a full release until mid-May. You can see a little teaser shot below.

I don't know what it looks like in real life but the Coke bottle should probably have a bit better of a resolution. It looks kind of, well, dull.

I was working on Fenway all day yesterday and today, and had a really strong feeling that I would come on MVPmods and see somebody be doing it at the same time.

But, I have made some progress (Very little, actually...just a huge game of trial and error)

(I screwed up with Oedit on the monstah, as I am still learning)

So...I give up.

The Big O: I don't know if you're going to be getting into OEdit at all, or if it's even necessary for this, but the Boston skyline beyond right field was done rather poorly by EA. The Prudential tower is fine, but the round building to the left of it should 1. be closer to the Pru, and 2. be A LOT larger. The Hancock tower also looks far too small in comparison to the Pru.

Keep up the good work! :D

All the changes I am making require OEdit so yes I am using it. I will try to take a look at this as well as adding the RF roof seats.

The banner logo on RedSox.com will probably be the monster logo this year.

I am going to the Yankees game next Thursday night, so I might be able to take some pictures...

Yeah...looks like EA left off the whole right field roof again this year. Ezorn did an amazing job putting the big Budweiser sign and the seats up there. Haven't gone down to Fenway yet this year but they seem to change something every year now. If I get a chance I will get some pics.

I have tickets to next Fridays game at Fenway. I can take my digital camera if anyone is interested in the actuals ads at the game. If you need a particular pic of an ad let me know....before the game I'll get work around the stadium to get the pic.

Let's see...

Good high quality pics of the OF wall ads, Jimmy Fund logo on the Monster, whatever ads are above the Monster, the Bank of America sign w/boards in CF. That's about all I can think of right now. Basically I need to see if the ads have changed.

This is what I've seen so far from the game today:

- The visitor dugout says MLB.com behind a rectangular plastic shield in white next to the Ford logo

- The home dugout says redsox.com (same as backstop) in white lettering behind a rectangular plastic shield next to the Ford logo

- The bullpen has the Nikon logo repeating on the roof edge

- The two screws for those shields are right next to both the M/R letters and the M letters at the end

Backstop Ads:

hd0fi.jpg (Except with white Proud Sponsor lettering)

dd4hx.jpg (Except with white borders around the letters and logo)

hancock6nx.jpg (Ezorn's Hankook from last year)

There is also an Acela Express sign, but I can't find it online anywhere.

And a Giant Glass 1-800-54-GIANT ad

and a Bobs Stores ad on a red background with diagonal white lettering "Official Red Sox Gear"

and a 99 Red Logo with black Ninety Nine letters with restuarant and pub under it

and a double Hood logo on a blue background

and a triple Gulf logo with a blue background

and a red and white benjamin moore ad

and a yellow Liquid Lumberdators ad with HARDWOOD FLOORING FOR LESS! black lettering on the left and the diagonal black ad with the number in black letters under that

and a SPORTS AUTHORITY ad with a black background, red letters for Sports, blue letters for Authority, and white glow behind the letters, with a black underarmor ad with the white logo on the left and white UNDERARMOR text above a white line, and white performance apparell text under that

and a blue backgrounded Delta ad with white "good goes around" text under it

-To the left and right of the backstop ads, there are four signs: (In order from closest to Hankook/BOA sign to the dugout)(All in white)

Square ESPN HD on white background

Half-circle flag

99 Restaurant (White logo with Ninenty Nine Restuarant and Pub Text)

Half-circle flag

Volvo (Same as monster and Ezorn's)

Half-circle flag

Poland Spring (Just their text and logo in white)

Half-circle flag

Avaya (Same as Ezorn's)

Half-circle flag

Square ESPN HD on white background

Half Circle Banner:

(All in white with green background without You'll Always Come Back For More" text)

Between the rotating backstop ads and the beginning of the beforementioned flags and ads is about 3-4 times the length of one rotating ad

- On the Sports Authority Green Monster Ad, there is the Sports Authority words on the left, and the underarmor logo, in white, on the right. There is a line seperating the two with Under Armor lettering under the logo

- The sign to the left of monster, the sign that used to be a brownish Bud Light ad is now just the plain blue Bud Light logo, but the Cask and Flagon sign is still attached above it

- In center field, the comcast ad has been moved a bit to the right and a thin Nikon ad is now there, just to the right of the home run line. The Stop and Shop and Giant Glass ads are in the same spots.

- The ads above the luxury boxes (boston.com, etc) appear to be the same

- Right Field ads and Budweiser ad remains the same, but there are 4 grey hanging lights over both the Ford and Dunkin Donuts ads, held up by thin green concrete risers on both sides

- Center field scoreboards ads remain the same, but instead of Granite City Electric, it is now some type of verizon sign with a Red Sox logo and text...but it is a rotating sign, and one is a white EMC ad...and another is a white backgrounded red lettered Budwesier ad

- There are five half-circle flags on each side of the .406 club to the 4 signs above the luxury boxes)

- To the right of the camera well on the 3B side, there are thin rotating ribbon ads, one with Acela Express. There is also a long red double Budweiser Gametime ad and a black XM radio ad with three yellow XM radio logos and three MLB logos in between. Also, there is a yellow ad with liquidlumberdatords.com in black letters ad. And a blue Giant Glass 1-800-54-GIANT ad as well. As I look further, the GAMETIME ad is not in an adholder, but it's just a draped ad, but the XM/ACELA/LUMBER/GIANTGLASS ads are in the ad holder.

- To the left of the 3B above the luxury box scoreboard there is a green Boston Globe ad, and a blue EMC2 (squared) ad to the right

- The camera well railings have small Nikon logos in a row

nikonlogo.jpg (Except with navy blue Nikon text) (The CenterField Nikon ad, however, has a white light stripe going from middle bottom left to middle top right)

- The regular dugouts have repeating white Bank of America logos on the roof edge

- The bullpen wall ads are the same (The 4th or 5th file in cram 32 are those

- All of the championship pennants are still there, 8 on each side

Also, the warning track texture from EZorn's last year is great. I would use it again this year, and the infield dirt is just a tad lighter.

-The center field ad is a red majestic one with text saying Authentic [Apparell] World Champion Red Sox... and a Boston B logo in the bottom right in a gold ring, with the majestic logo on the left like last year, and red and blue mesh background

-The Center Field Scoreboard is now Bank of America, since they bought Fleet

logo_bankofamerica.gif

- The green tarp cover has a white new era logo, and repeating white "NewEraCap.com" text

combined_logo.jpg (Without the New Era fits part) (Except in white)

- The Red Sox dugout has Boston Red Sox in red text, and the visitor's dugout has Fenway Park (I think) in blue text

- Behind homeplate in the bullpens are yellow and red DHL ads about half way up, just a small rectangle

dhl_logo.highlight.gif

-A little to the right of the ads on the right field bullpens, there is a purplish/blackish Mohegan sun sign on the corner curve

mohegan2as.gif

EDIT: I was just watching the news, and I saw a boston scientific ad, possibly in this Mohegan ad's place. I was never sure that Mohegan was even there...

-Up where the Fleet pitch meter was last year, is a white Bank of America ad, with the pitching meterm but it's on the right side of the upper press box or special luxury box)

- There are two signs to the left of the Mohegan sun sign in right field, just to the left of the Pesky Pole, but they are not facing in the same direction as the bullpen wall signs (around the corner). One is a blue BOSTON SCIENTIFIC sign, and the other is EZORN'S VERIZON SUPER PAGES AD FROM LAST YEAR. (Verizon closest to the Pesky pole)

3B Line Scoreboard:

globe4dh.jpg

(Blue is EMC2 logo with some white text below it, and the green behind the Globe ad needs to be lighted up a bit)

These are the 1B line ads just below the scoreboard:

The 3B line ads, from left to right

(The 1B ads are the same, except with the ACELA EXPRESS ad from Ezorn in the middle (instead of Northeastern) and in this order, from left to right: Beth Israel-Bostonworks-Acela-99-GiantGlass)

1B Line Luxury Box Scoreboard:

Hope all of that helps :wink:

I am going to the game Thursday, but I only have a crappy digital camera, so I might be able to take some pictures, but they won't be that good...

For reference, this site has all the plans of the new additions to Fenway over the offseason, and for 2006, in PDF format. If you want to go by exactly the plans that the real park is being built with, well, here you go:

http://www.businessofbaseball.com/relo.htm

Exciting, eh?

My father is the project manager for those improvements, so I have access to an FTP site with the real blueprints :p

And the site already has all of those. In fact, that's where that website got them. And those are probably sitting on his desk right now!
